Lost My Ship?!?

[SayerSong]

So I was travelling on my Sloop from Cuba to Tortuga and my internet kicked off. When I managed to get online, I was in the jail and when I went to get back on my ship it was grayed-out with no way for me to launch to it. I ended up hitching a ride to Tortuga, thinking it was there, and it wasn't. Nor was it at Port Royal. I am at a loss. I have bought a new one, but believe it or not, it just isn't as good as my first one (the one I had to get the parts for), even though they are the same with only different names.

I want my first one back if possible, but while it remains listed in my available ships, it remains grayed-out leaving me no actual access to it.

Any ideas on how I get it back? I can't help but wonder if it sunk after I was kicked off the internet. If so, is there a way to get Sunken Ships back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
